STAFF BLOG ALL ABOUT FOOD Sweet Potato and Pear Soup
Not too many years ago I was standing in the produce department at a grocery store, gazing at a variety of pears. I was planning to make a special dessert that involved poaching pears. I'd never poach...

Caramel Apple Bundt Cake satisfies my apple fix
The sweet smells of fresh-pressed apple cider and warm cinnamon-spiced apple doughnuts are fall pleasures that I must experience every year. My favorite season of the year would not be complete without a traditional trip to an apple orchard.

Take the chill out with Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
Fall is slowly settling in. As I write, the sky is charcoal gray with ribbons of white bleeding into the darkness. The sun poked through a break in the clouds for a few minutes, trees bare of leaves casting shadows on the dormant grass. The outdoor thermometer reads 38 degrees.

Takin' it slow: Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Kraut
Every time I pull my slow cooker out of the hall closet, I lament my decision to give up my old crock pot.

It's a pasta impostor: Spaghetti squash takes the spotlight in soup
Hard-skinned winter squash is at its best right now. I enjoy browsing through the farmers markets and picking my way through bins at the grocery stores, admiring the unique shapes and various colors. The hard, thick-skinned squash is a nice change from the summer squash I’ve enjoyed the last couple of months.

Fresh from the forest:: Penne with Mushrooms
Kelly Larson of Bagley, Minn., calls herself a fanatic forager of fungal fruits. She’s not kidding. When we met at the third annual Fall Mushroom Camp recently put on by White Earth Tribal & Community College (WETCC ) Extension Service, Larson was shocked.

Pie it forward: Grandson keeps Green Tomato Pie tradition alive
Just as the green tomatoes on the plant I’d been pampering all summer began to show a slight tinge of orange, the air turned nippy. An overnight frost was predicted. Two nights in a row, I wrapped the plant in old beach towels, hoping the ripening fruit would survive the quick blast of freezing temperatures. The leaves look a little droopy, but the plant survived.

Have some cake, honey
A beekeeper friend of mine invited me to watch as he introduced a wooden box of at least 30,000 bees and one queen to their new home – a hive positioned on a grassy space near basswood trees across the road from his house.

Try some Un-Stuffed Peppers
This time of year, the fragrance of sweet peppers and paprika swirl through my kitchen. It’s a Hungarian tradition in my family – some of the first ripe, green bell peppers picked from the garden are stuffed with ground meat, onions, rice and lots of paprika.

Let's get it started -- sourdough, that is
If you recall the 1980s, you’ll remember Herman, a sweet cream-colored goop that got passed around from one friend to another along with a loaf of freshly baked quick bread. A chain letter was attached to a plastic bag or jar of sugar-spiked, bubbling brew affectionately referred to as Herman.

Pepper and Herbs Skillet Flatbread is flat-out fabulous
I watched with anticipation as the hostess of an al fresco dinner party I was attending used a pizza cutter to slice a dark, thin round of baked dough into small squares. She told me it was called farinata. Made with chickpea flour, also known as garbanzo bean flour, the thin cake is popular in the Liguria region of Italy. There it is baked in a wood-burning oven and eaten as a snack.

It's time to start thinking about school lunches
While I was waiting in line at the checkout in the grocery store the other day, I couldn’t help overhearing a conversation between two young mothers.
“Are you guys ready for school?”

Watermelon soup? That's cool.
Cooks all over the United States have been challenged for more than a month with sweltering heat. A reader in Texas asked me if I could publish a recipe for something that wouldn’t melt. Someone in North Carolina living without air conditioning didn’t want to turn on his stove or his oven. He was cooking outside on two black rocks heated by the sun. Even though my house is air-conditioned, the grill on my deck is getting a workout.

Baked Zucchini Fries are a tasty, healthful substitute for French fries
I’ve always wanted to host a garden party this time of year when vegetable plots are bountiful and flower beds are in full bloom, showing off their amazing beauty. But the same problem always arises – I have no gardens worthy of putting on display.

Orzo Skillet Dinner is an easy and quick dish
I’ve gained a renewed appreciation for quick suppers from a skillet. As a young mother, that sometimes meant the meal began in a box packaged with everything needed except the meat. These days, I pay much closer attention to every single ingredient that goes into the meals I prepare. I prefer to use fresh ingredients and add my own seasonings.
